Apple loses the snark, keeps it simple with new Samsung apology

Apple has rewritten a court-ordered notice on its UK website that makes it clear that Samsung did not copy Apple's patented tablet design. The new notice is shorter than the original notice that Apple put up on the site last week. It is also lacking the subtle snark of the last notice. And that's just what the British court wants. So now, if you go to the British Apple site, you'll find this straightforward mea culpa from Apple at the bottom of the page: "On 25 October 2012, Apple Inc. published a statement on its UK website in relation to Samsung's Galaxy tablet computers. That statement was inaccurate and did not comply with the order of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. The correct statement is at Samsung/Apple UK judgement."
